WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The man wanted in a shooting at an apartment complex near UNCW is now behind bars.

U.S. Marshals arrested Antonio Devon Jenkins, 28, around 10:00 a.m. at a home in the 1200 block of Dock Street.

The witness says they saw a man roll out of the car.

The victim was identified as Darnell Jermaine Hill, 38, of Wilmington. He had been shot in the leg.

Jenkins faces several charges:

  • Robbery with a dangerous weapon
